Özet

Energy performance and heat flux of a traditional heating system, called Russian masonry stove, was analyzed with a comparative study based on its original S-shaped chimney design and high specific heat value firestone material. The study aims to improve building energy performance by taking advantage of traditional techniques. The paper was structured within three stages; architectural modeling of the stove, to identify and understand the architecture of the system, energy performance modeling of the stove, to specify the system performance and CFD modeling of the stove, to analyze the system's performance influence on indoor comfort conditions. Results were compared with the steel casting straight chimney stove which is commonly used in contemporary architecture. The results showed that the influence of the Russian stove's unique specifications enabled acquiring the better level of desired indoor comfort conditions. The installation of the Russian stove to the contemporary buildings would be suggested in respect of providing the level of thermal comfort and energy performance.
